Welcome to the NPFL next season.
A clear goal from Remo was disqualified. I think our officials still have a very long way to go
if this is what we’ll be seen in upcoming NPL season….it will discourage many from watching or coming to the stadium….till now…i have not seen reason for the disqualification of the goal…if it’s a legit goal, the center referee ought to admit the error and apologize…
